More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek. If leaving duties unperformed we run after rights, they will escape us like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Mahatma Gandhi
I hold it a blasphemy to say that the Creator resides in a temple from which a particular class of His devotees sharing faith in it are excluded.
Mahatma Gandhi
A convert's enthusiasm for his new religion is greater than that of a person who is born in it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Satan's snares are mostly subtly laid and are the most tempting when the dividing line between right and wrong is so thin as to be imperceptible.
Mahatma Gandhi
The idol in the temple is not God. But since God resides in every atom, He resides in that idol too.
Mahatma Gandhi
Our prayer is a heart search. It is a reminder to ourselves that we are helpless without His support.
Mahatma Gandhi
Islam appeals to people because it appeals also to reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
Even the most sublime ideas sound ridiculous if heard too often. Be the change that you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are a lot of ways to become a failure, but never taking a chance is the most successful. As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.
Mahatma Gandhi
God gifted man with intellect so that he might know his Maker. Man abused it so that he might forget his Maker.
Mahatma Gandhi
True paurusha, true bravery, consists in driving out the brute in us.
Mahatma Gandhi
To bear all kinds of tortures without a murmur of resentment is not possible for a human being without the strength that comes from God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Proved right should be capable of being vindicated by right means as against the rude i.e. sanguinary means. Man may and should shed his own blood for establishing what he considers to be his right. He may not shed the blood of his opponent who disputes his 'right'.
Mahatma Gandhi
God's ways are more than Man's arithmetic.
Mahatma Gandhi
A nation that is capable of limitless sacrifice is capable of rising to limitless heights. The purer the sacrifice the quicker the progress.
Mahatma Gandhi
Violent means will give violent freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi
The cow to me is a sermon on pity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-cooperation is a measure of discipline and sacrifice, and it demands respect for the opposite views.
Mahatma Gandhi
